Berlin Tech Workers Coalition

And that’s a wrap! First day of #TechWorkersConf was a huge success! On 14 October we have a panel on collective bargaining success and 4 parallel panels on @dwenteignen, climate change, gender pay gap, and union busting/bullying! Join us! Registration is still possible!

Meta rowing back on the basics of keeping a platform safe is both (a) bad thing and (b) a sign they've utterly lost touch with the concept of being credible and trustworthy. @accountabletech 's statement is excellent. accountabletech.org/statements/acc…

🧵THREAD: Sweden is about to criminalise digital sx work. On 20 May, Parliament will vote on a law that would make watching camming or buying erotic content a crime. Here’s why 80+ organisations and 275+ experts say: NO to Prop. 2024/25:124. eswalliance.org/rights_not_rep…

Was für eine Vielfalt an Backgrounds bei einem Gewerkschaftsevent. KollegInnen aus Honduras, Pakistan, Mazedonien. Muslimisch, jüdisch, queer. Alle mit viel Kampfgeist und Klassenbewusstsein, alle genervt von hohen Mieten, ignoranten Managern. Einfach nice, dass sie alle da sind.

One more victory! @amazonIN and other aggregators will be taxed 1 to 5 percent of each transaction for welfare of their delivery workers in Karnataka @nickrudikoff @uniglobalunion @uniapro

How will Elon Musk react to Wikipedia featuring on home-page an article about his treatment of workers at Tesla factories around the world? Even billionaires cannot buy Wikipedia, something that makes him very upset. Please do not rewtweet this, it would make him more sad.

Tesla Workers against Fascism! Call is coming from inside the house! #noAfd #Musk

On the third anniversary of CAUSE, we signed an election agreement with Amazon! We will be voting UNION YES at RDU1 from Monday February 10th to Saturday February 15th. Stay tuned for more on what times the polls are open. Don't Quit - Organize!

On this day in 1936, thousands of General Motors auto workers courageously sat down on the job inside the plants in Flint, MI, and shut down the most powerful corporation in the world.

Diejenigen, die Musk rechte und neoliberale Agenda in Deutschland am effektivsten bekämpfen, sind übrigens die Gewerkschaften, konkret die IG Metall bei Tesla. Organisierung von unten, gegen die Springer-Musk-AfD Allianz.

Germany's Supply Chain Act has been hailed as an important step forward in global worker protections. But our latest policy brief looks at the debate around the act and argues that improvements are needed to truly align with workers' interests. rosalux.de/en/publication…

Elon Musk endorses the fascist political party @AfD in Germany. The defiant @IGMetall_BBS members in the Tesla factory are doing the ground work resisting Elon techno-fascism. Don’t let Elon white-wash racism in Germany, US or elsewhere! #FCKAFD

Breaking: After hours of Amazon Teamsters maintaining a strong picket line, cops broke the picket line for Amazon.

Organizing for Power has trained over 40,000 organizers since 2019. The passing of founder Jane McAlevey earlier this year was a heavy blow, but as co-founder Ethan Earle explains, her legacy will live on as the programme expands to meet new challenges. rosalux.de/en/news/id/528…
